My fear is that you'll give up out of frustration before reaching nirvana. But I have to tread carefully because some guys take to naturals and the like better than others... So saying you have to do it this way or that way is completely the wrong way to approach it.. You know?
All said and done, shaving with a straight takes a bit of stubbornness. Keep at it and you'll be good!
